TheKingofSprings posted:Remand minus the cantrip would absolutely suck. You're going down a card to blank them for a turn, it's actually probably worse than Disperse and that barely sees play already. Trying to figure how to make a 2CC counter work. 3CC definitely seems to not be doing it. What if Disperse gained Venser, Shaper Servant's "permanent or spell" wording?

PJOmega posted:Would Remand minus the cantrip be too powerful in Standard? What about as a sacrifice enchantment? I would heavily consider eating a roll of quarters before wanting to play a remand that does not draw you a card. PleasantDirge posted:
This is actually boring because you feel bad for the guy b/c he had power stolen until you read that he had like 3 ancestral recalls taken. Once someone has more than one hes basically a fuccboi keeping others from being able to play vintage. Someone who's holding 3+ uninsured ancestral recalls in an easily pilferable container can probably afford to lose them. (Unless he is a cool and good person who lends them out and is a patron saint of vintage magic). Zoness fucked around with this message at 06:00 on May 14, 2016 |

Amateur game designer/process design style. What would be a "fair but not oppressive" variant of a spell that is seen by many to be problematic is a fun theory experiment. If people feel this is making GBS threads up the thread I'll gladly stop. Simply bored waiting for friends to show up.

Honestly for my money the thing that'd make straight up Counterspell annoying in Modern isn't even Counterspell, it's Snapcaster. Snapcaster hamstrings the good cheap spells they can print in the same way Birthing Pod hamstrung creatures and Stoneforge Mystic equipment. I remember in INN-RTR Standard, they printed Warleader's Helix because they tested Lightning Helix and aggro decks couldn't keep up with Helix, Snap-Helix.

It's extremely easy to cheat victories with memory lapse, which is why wotc doesn't want it back in Standard. All you have to do is fill out your deck list without them, cast it on an opponent, wait for them to put the card back in, then set your Memory Lapse on fire and call a judge. Opponent gets nailed for tampering with their deck. Easiest tournament win of your life.

Recant UU Instant Counter target spell. It's controller may put it on top of their deck instead. Gets around some of the Timmy feelbads of countering their bomb, Spikes can get a skill test of when to make the choice, Johnny gets that weird edge case where they can counter their own card for value. I agree to the above that regarding modern the problem isn't Counterspell itself but rather Snapcaster. Oh what a world where it was Red and/or without Flash. Unfortunately that ship has long since sailed.

Angry Grimace posted:This is about as good as Counterspell, Optional Memory Lapse is not about as good as Counterspell. Actual Memory Lapse doesn't see Pauper play at all, where Counterspell does. In fact, Memory Lapse may say "counter target spell" on it, but it's not an actual answer to a spell - it's a 1-for-1 trade that presumably gains you mana. I don't think "Memory Lapse, but if the spell is bad the opponent isn't forced to draw it again" would be playable in anything except a Delver-style tempo deck, and I don't think they're printing any such overpowered blue one drops in the near future.

Maybe there's a particularly soft meta at card kingdom tonight for FNM, but mono red was hilariously good. Had I not forgotten two sin prodder triggers on successive turns  This is what happens when you have a bar attached to the store.

There's also a couple of other Grave-Troll decks people are jamming - a Travis Woo one (its far less popular because Woo) and a SaffronOlive one.

Mill prices are not affected by trivial things like power level or logic. See: Glimpse the Unthinkable.

The bulk of the demand I would guess is because Mill is a very popular casual strategy. You have cards like Glimpse the Unthinkable that are $20 for no reason other than casual appeal.
